Steve,

The comment period isn't OPEN yet (the release of the NPRM by the FCC
doesn't "start the clock," it's the publication in the Federal Register,
which has not yet happened.

Heyo Carl! Welcome again.

Sunnuvagun you are RIGHT! I checked the FR at the GPO site
and there is nothing there yet from 15 July (the NPRM release
date) through 4 August!

Amazing...two weeks gone on this NPRM and it hasn't started yet!

Even worse, at least a dozen ham-interest websites have made it
a cause celebre, front-page headline thing (which it is)...and
lots of folks are now urging Comments to be sent in! Everyone
from Nancy Kott at FISTS on out... :-)

Thus, technically speaking, while the docket is open in the ECFS, comments
filed now are "premature," so I would suggest you consider refraining from
"dis-ing" people over something where they are behaving in a completely
appropriate manner.

Stebie don' need no steenking rules! :-)

See 25 Jan 99 on 98-143, 10 days AFTER the supposed window close
on the Restructuring NPRM. Stebie was in there dissing me. :-)
He hasn't stopped since.

I fully intend to file my comments on the NPRM within the appropriate,
prescribed time window. I expect others who understand the comment/reply
comment process, as prescribed by the Administrative Procedures Act will
likewise file their comments in the appropriate, prescribed time window.

No problem here. I can resend my Comment in the click of a few
mouse buttons. It will still apply. Morse code is only 161
years old...it's had its time in the sun.

Thanks for the advisory. Will have to check the Federal Register
daily now to see if 05-235 has had its window open.

No breeze. Or, as Shakespeare almost wrote it, "Lo, what ball
through yonder window breaks?" :-)

dit bye
